I saw someone going on about those jackets in another thread.
Whats so good about them?
(just googles a few pics on the net)
Dont want to bag anyone that has one, but they dont look anything special to me?
They look too tight and restrictive for snowboarding.
They also look quite short, like they would ride up your back every time your on your ass.

What I like about it is the collar, color scheme and pocket placement.
Don’t bag them until you try them EvanL
In point summary format:
* I have found my Arc’teryx items to be of high quality. I have 2 of the shell jackets (Stingray and Sidewainder SV). After wearing both of them for 60+ days of riding, they will look brand new and I stay completly dry - can’t ask for much more
* I don’t find the jackets “tight and restrictive” and they certainly don’t restrict my snowboarding. I find their “cut” is perfect for me. I have plenty of room to move my arms up and down, etc, even with a base and thick mid layer…......if people start blaming their crap riding because their jacket is too “tight and restrictive”, well…......you get my drift
* My Arc’teryx jackets dont “ride” up my back so getting a wet back is not an issue
* My Sidewinder SV has a nice feature whereby the zipper zips up slightly towards the side so you don’t get a zipper in your face (Some Burton AK jackets have copied this feature)
* Zips up nice and high so keeps my neckwarmer from sliding up
* Zips are nicely sealed so nothing gets in through that area
* Plenty of space in the pockets and plenty of pockets
* I reckon they look awesome
They might be a bit on the higher end of the price scale, but I am a firm believer in “you get what you pay for” - buy a cheap jacket and it will perform like one, buy a more expensive jacket and it will serve you better and longer. My Arc’teryx jackets will last a few more years yet.
Here is one of me I turned into pop art (first attempt at it)
Me going to work, not a morning person!
